Rockmelon & Spinach Salad w Ginger, Peppermint & Pepper
 
Prep time

This dish is just unreal, the freshness of the cold rockmelon against the bite of the ginger and pepper, then lifted by the peppermint.... wow. It's simple dishes like this that make me thank Mother Nature for her beautiful flavours. The spinach I added purely for health (I eat spinach, kale or watercress every day), but goes extremely well with the melon, even if you would serve it as dessert (I'm love having it as a main with a sprinkle of hemp seeds or nuts). If you can't find peppermint leaves (it does well in our garden), then you'll have to make do with mint, but I'm sure that will be pretty awesome too ;-)
